Milwaukee Journal Sentinel : Farrakhan condemns terrorist attacks
Jamaal Abdul-Alim. "He said America is entitled to an 'appropriate response' to the attacks, but expressed concern that the government - feeding from an atmosphere of blinding anger and pride - might go too far in retaliating, and trigger a terrible war. He quoted a verse from the Qur'an that admonishes people not to let the hatred of others incite them to act unjustly and harm innocent people as a result. 'It's good counsel for Muslims, but it's also good counsel for Christians and others,' Farrakhan said." USA.
